Overview Overview
 

This module aims to explore anthropological theories and perspectives as they relate to globalisation and development.

Throughout this module, participants will critically examine anthropological theories and perspectives in the context of globalisation and development work; explore the anthropological concept of ‘culture’ in all its complexity focusing on society, identity and world view; critically investigate theories of social evolution, enculturation, ethnocentrism, race, gender and community and their impact on contemporary society; explore the anthropology of globalisation paying particular attention to the role of culture, consumption and poverty and assess practical implications of seeking to apply cultural anthropological theory, perspectives, and research in understanding the implications of globalisation in development work.
